PROPANE GAS SUPPLY

The propane gas system supplies fuel for the
gas range/oven, water heater, furnace, and
refrigerator (while in gas mode). When used and
handled properly, this system is safe and
economical and provides modern living
conveniences wherever you travel.
See Section 2 - Safety and Precautions of this
manual for other safety and precautions you need
to be aware of related to propane.
How Propane Gas Works
Propane is a type of LP (Liquefied Petroleum)
gas compressed into liquid form for easy
transportation and storage. Propane gas may also
be called tank gas, bottle gas, or simply LP.
Propane is used by appliances in vapor form
only, but is stored in the tank as a liquid under
very high pressure. As the liquid gas is released,
it reverts back to a vapor and expands to many
times its compressed volume.
Propane Tank System
The storage reservoir for the propane gas
system is a horizontally mounted tank which is
permanently attached to the vehicle frame. The
tank is accessible only from the outside of the
vehicle.

WARNING
Do not alter or remove propane tank
valves or gauge. Propane can escape,
which can cause an explosion resulting in
death or serious injury. Have the propane
system serviced by a qualified service
center.
